Does your religious institution have unused or underused land or buildings?

Have you considered development, but don't know where to start?

Would you like to better serve your community and institution? 

Affordable housing often coincides with the community-based mission of a faith-based organization.  The Building on Faith seminar will provide a comprehensive overview of affordable housing development strategies of faith-based institutions.  Learn about the benefits of development and how to create a successful project, from pre-development and financing to construction and occupancy.  Discover the key partners you'll need, including attorneys, architects, and lenders.  Expert panelists will review common terms, provide a project overview, and discuss how to begin the planning process.  The 90-minute seminar includes breakfast and a question and answer session.
